with the North Las Vegas environment

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure
firm, announced today it has been selected to construct the $1 billion,
3-million square foot electric car manufacturing plant for Faraday
Future (FF) in North Las Vegas, Nevada. AECOM’s industrial construction
services practice is currently engaged in demolition, including mass
grading for the relocation of phone towers, fence lines and the
installation of temporary facilities. The project, to be delivered with
a guaranteed maximum price, has an approximate construction value of
$500 million and will be included in AECOM’s backlog for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2016.

“A revolutionary approach to transportation requires an unprecedented
manufacturing facility, and AECOM is thrilled to be working with Faraday
Future to help make its vision real in Nevada,’’ said Michael S. Burke,
AECOM chairman and chief executive officer. “Our involvement taps our
extensive automotive industry experience and our integrated approach to
delivering challenging projects quickly.’’

“Working in collaboration with AECOM, we were extremely impressed with
how quickly they aligned with our company’s vision of manufacturing in
North Las Vegas,” said Dag Reckhorn, Vice President of Global
Manufacturing, Faraday Future. “We are proud to be working with AECOM as
partners in this project, and their expertise will serve as an
invaluable resource to FF as we bring our facility online in the future.”

In keeping with Faraday Future’s mission, the production facility
features a number of elements designed for sustainability and
harmonization with Nevada’s natural surroundings. Structural glass, a
water feature and dark sky-compliant outdoor lighting fixtures will
welcome visitors and thousands of production workers by connecting the
plant with the landscape. The project will also feature extended
life-cycle materials that require less maintenance.

Additionally, the project will include sustainable and energy-efficient
oils, elevator systems, and lighting, as well as prismatic skylights for
daylighting of manufacturing. Even greater energy savings will be
realized through roof-mounted PV solar panels for power generation, a
cool roof Energy-Star coating system, and energy efficient heating and
cooling systems. The current demolition work includes the digging of
water retention pools to store water for compaction and use in the
building’s cooling towers.

The facility will embrace visitors and guided tours with integrated
viewing platforms and purposeful designs allowing for visibility to
vehicles during the assembly process from a safe vantage point.
